A third suspect has been charged in a quadruple shooting that killed a 17-year-old boy in Hartford last year.
On September 1, 2019, police responded to a shooting on Edgewood Street. There they found 17-year-old Usher Hanns with a gunshot wound to the head. He was rushed to St. Francis Hospital, where he died on September 4, 2019.
Three other people were also shot, though their injuries were not life-threatening. A fourth person was grazed by a bullet.
Investigators believe at least three people shot from a vehicle into a crowd of people.
On Wednesday police arrested an 18-year-old suspect, who was 17 at the time of the shooting. The teen is charged with conspiracy to commit murder, criminal liability murder, criminal liability first-degree assault, and possession of a pistol without a permit.
Two other suspects, 19-year-old Diondre Johnson and 20-year-old Jaden Davis, were previously charged in Hanns' death. They were each charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder, first-degree assault, and possession of a pistol without a permit.
The investigation is ongoing.
